Don't know how long we can get this game to go on to, but have a go anyway.In alphabetical order name an item you would see around in the 1950's ( it doesn't matter if you would also have seen it in the 1920's, ie, a tin bath, but don't include things from later decades ie, miniskirts.)

Alligator skin handbags

( This thread is bringing back some memories!) Have you all got excellent memories or is Mr Google helping? So far I haven't peeped at it but may have to soon.I had a Mobo rocking horse, on springs rather than rockers, which needed oiling otherwise made a hell of a racket.)grin
